Chapter 1076: Ask for leave

Chapter 1071: Strongest Advanced Pet Contest (Two-in-One)

Evening, 7:30 PM.

Outdoor training ground.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon’s eyes widened, revealing a sharp gaze, and at the same time, streaks of yellow electric arcs appeared on its body, striking towards Qingbao, who was floating not far away.

Just as the lightning was about to strike, Qingbao transformed into Wind Transformation and disappeared.

The lightning struck nothing.

“Not bad,” Qiao Sang praised. “You’ve executed this combo five times, and succeeded all five times, without a single failure. It seems that performing it in today’s competition wasn’t just luck.”

“Ting Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon showed an expression of “Of course.”

Qiao Sang said, “Next, we’ll continue training your movement speed and reaction ability.”

“Ting Ting.” Xiaoting Dragon nodded.

“Qing Qing.” Qingbao appeared, holding a large pile of stones, indicating that it was ready.

“Let’s begin,” Qiao Sang said.

Without a word, Qingbao transformed into Wind Transformation, sweeping up pebbles and throwing them at Xiaoting Dragon.

Xiaoting Dragon moved quickly, dodging.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared out of thin air at its moving position.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon was startled and quickly braked.

A pebble happened to fall, hitting it on the head.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon shook its head to clear the dizziness.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, who had just poked half its head out, saw this scene and, feeling a bit guilty, pulled its head back in.

The black hole disappeared.

“Qing Qing!”

“Qing Qing!”

Qingbao appeared, holding a pile of stones, and cried out twice in protest at the air.

“Ting Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon, now clear-headed, called out, indicating that it was fine, and that the boss didn’t do it on purpose, so Qingbao shouldn’t be so fierce to it.

Qingbao: “…”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao poked its head out of a black hole that appeared out of thin air a hundred meters away and called out.

Exactly, exactly.

Qingbao: “…”

Qingbao took a deep breath, and an unusual Typhoon swirled around its body. It smiled at Xiaoting Dragon and called out:

“Qing Qing.”

Let’s continue training.

“Ting Ting.”

Xiaoting Dragon inexplicably felt a sense of danger, but remembering the training, it still nodded.

Qingbao transformed into Typhoon, and pebbles rained down like Hail.

Xiaoting Dragon dodged left and right, but after only a few steps, it was mercilessly pelted by stones.

Later, it reached a point where it was hit almost every two or three meters it moved.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon gritted its teeth and sped up its movement.

After about half an hour of training, despite developing large bumps on its head, its movement speed was visibly improving.

Xiaoting Dragon’s talent in physical fitness seems to be very high… Qiao Sang watched from a distance, feeling deeply gratified.

Mi Jiala, sitting on a nearby rest chair, put down her phone and suddenly said,

“I found a very suitable competition for Qingyin Fairy.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked,

“What is it?”

“Strongest Advanced Pet Contest,” Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang was stunned again: “There’s such a competition?”

Like on Blue Star, the gimmicks of various competitions are always about what level of Yu Beast Master, or what type of Pet, or even if there’s a Pet contest, the level is at least General-level. A competition specifically named for High-level Pet wouldn’t attract many people.

After all, the level of High-level Pet is not too high among all Pets. As long as a Yu Beast Master goes to university, has sufficient resources, and their Pet has no issues, they can generally cultivate a High-level Pet.

“Yan Tian Star has no shortage of various types of battle competitions,” Mi Jiala said calmly. “Not to mention the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest, there’s even a Strongest Beginner Pet Contest.”

Strongest Beginner Pet Contest… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up at the sound of it, feeling inexplicably that this competition would be very suitable for Xiaoting Dragon to participate in.

Mi Jiala glanced at her and added,

“I checked the time for the Strongest Beginner Pet Contest; it’s held once a year, and the last one just finished two months ago.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately gave up the idea.

Mi Jiala continued:

“On Yan Tian Star, the various level Pet contests actually have very high viewership, and many Yu Beast Master and wild Pets sign up…”

Qiao Sang interrupted, looking bewildered: “Wait, wild Pets?”

Mi Jiala said, “Both Yu Beast Master and wild Pets that meet the level requirements can participate in this competition. The champion of the last one seemed to be a wild Pet.”

Saying that, she smiled:

“You probably haven’t tried battling a Pet without a Yu Beast Master in a formal competition.”

“Indeed, I haven’t.” Qiao Sang instantly became interested: “This competition sounds quite interesting.”

She inquired, “When is this competition?”

“The day after tomorrow,” Mi Jiala said.

“The day after tomorrow?” Qiao Sang said in surprise, “That’s so soon, but Xiaoting Dragon still has a competition then.”

Mi Jiala said with a smile:

“One of the rules of the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest is that any High-level Pet can sign up. Even if the Yu Beast Master of an already Contracted High-level Pet doesn’t have time to participate, the High-level Pet can choose to go and compete alone.”

Such flexible competition rules… Qiao Sang inwardly sighed with emotion.

“Yaya?”

At this moment, Yabao, who was training in the distance, teleported to their side and excitedly called out, asking if there was a Strongest King-level Pet Contest?

Lubao, emanating cold air, twitched its ears in the distance.

A black hole appeared out of thin air.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao emerged from the black hole, also excitedly asking a question.

Steel Treasure continued its training high in the sky, as if it hadn’t heard anything.

“Yes,” Mi Jiala nodded.

“Yaya!”

Yabao looked at its Yu Beast Master and excitedly cried out.

It wants to sign up!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao raised its paw.

It also wants to sign up.

The cold air around Lubao dispersed, and it walked towards them.

Steel Treasure continued training.

Are Yabao, Lubao, Xiao Xunbao, and Steel Treasure finally going to decide who is the strongest… Qiao Sang also felt a bit excited and nodded:

“Okay, we’ll sign up!”

Compared to Beginner and High-level Pet battles, she was more interested in King-level Pet competitions.

In her Yu Beast Master’s heart, was its combat power actually comparable to Yabao and the others… Steel Treasure was a bit surprised.

“However, the Strongest King-level Pet Contest is held once every two years,” Mi Jiala continued. “There’s still more than a year until the next one.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Yaya…”

Yabao showed a disappointed expression, teleported to the distance, and resumed its training.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s excited expression vanished, and it burrowed back into the black hole.

Lubao silently turned back, and cold air surged around it again.

Steel Treasure was unaffected and continued training.

“How about it, do you want Qingyin Fairy to participate?” Mi Jiala asked.

“Of course.” Qiao Sang glanced in the direction where the Typhoon was swirling stones downwards and said, “Qingbao currently lacks battle experience the most.”

Mi Jiala nodded: “Then I’ll send you the registration website.”

Saying that, she lowered her head and started operating her device.

Qiao Sang pulled out her phone, and while opening the website, casually asked,

“Is the address for this Strongest Advanced Pet Contest also in this city?”

Yan Tian Star and Blue Star have similar structures, both divided into countries. The country they were currently in was called Elephant Kingdom.

“No,” Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang: “???”

“It’s in Hasman,” Mi Jiala said. “Don’t worry, you can reach there instantly by using a Pet specialized in inter-town transfers.”

Qiao Sang processed the information for a moment and asked, “Pets specialized in inter-town transfers? Do they use Space Movement?”

Currently, with Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement, it could instantly teleport to the nearest town, but it couldn’t go any further.

“No,” Mi Jiala said. “To be precise, they use coordinate positioning.”

Coordinate positioning, a High-level Superpower skill. Pets with this skill can place coordinates at a certain location or on a target, and then move to the coordinated location or near the target at any time.

The higher the proficiency, the longer the coordinates exist, and the farther the sensing distance can be.

Information about coordinate positioning flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, and she said in surprise, “Are there Pets that specialize in this job, using coordinate positioning?”

There aren’t many Pets that can use coordinate positioning, and even fewer with high proficiency. On Blue Star, if you wanted to find a Pet for coordinate positioning, you’d have to specifically post a mission, and even then, you might not find one.

A Pet capable of leaving coordinates in another city and successfully positioning itself there would at least have to be King-level, and its proficiency would need to reach Profound Level.

Pets that meet these two requirements are not easy to find.

“Exactly,” Mi Jiala said. “If you go out more, you’ll find that there are many units where Pets work independently.”

“The work of setting fixed coordinates for movement between towns is arranged by the government. It’s considered a stable job with good benefits and treatment, and many wild Pets are willing to do it.”

Qiao Sang processed the information and sighed:

“If it’s going to another city, I’m not very comfortable letting Qingbao go.”

Qingbao had just come out of the secret realm and hadn’t really left her side. If it were going to participate in a competition alone in the same city, that would be one thing, but how could she be at ease letting it go to another city?

“What’s there to worry about?” Mi Jiala said with amusement. “You’re already a B-level Beast Tamer, you can summon Qingyin Fairy back at any time. Plus, this competition is broadcast on a dedicated channel, so you can watch the live stream.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “I can still summon it back even if it’s in another city?”

Mi Jiala suddenly realized that her student was only 17 years old, and paused for a moment before explaining, “A B-level Beast Tamer can sense the location of their Pet at any time within a country as large as Dragon Kingdom, let alone Elephant Kingdom.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Qiao Sang resisted the urge to immediately let Xiao Xunbao teleport to another city and said, “But I’m still a little uneasy.”

In her eyes, Qingbao lacked social experience and was too young, making it easy to be deceived.

Mi Jiala recalled Qingyin Fairy’s soft and innocent appearance and suggested, “You can let Yan Jiaoou or Night Ring King accompany it.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang fell into contemplation, considering whether to let Yabao accompany it or Xiao Xunbao.

Yabao had gradually become mature and steady, sometimes showing a great elder brother demeanor, but its temper still flared up easily. If she wasn’t there, it might get into conflicts with others…

Xiao Xunbao was smart, and if there was danger, it could take Qingbao away at any time…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

As thoughts flickered, a black hole appeared in front of her. Xiao Xunbao emerged from it and called out, indicating that it could take the fifth one, guaranteeing to bring the fifth one back safely.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao continued to call out.

Moreover, it could read, so it definitely wouldn’t get lost.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang finally made a decision and said, “Okay, you take Qingbao then. I’ll go over after Xiaoting Dragon’s competition ends.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao happily called out, then turned and burrowed into the black hole, preparing to go to Qingbao’s side to tell it the news.

A black hole appeared in the Typhoon area.

Xiao Xunbao’s head poked out of the black hole.

However, before it could even speak, pebbles rained down like a storm.

Xiao Xunbao’s head was hit again and again, nodding repeatedly.

The wind suddenly lessened considerably.

“Qing Qing~”

Qingbao appeared, showing a surprised and apologetic expression, and called out, indicating that it didn’t do it on purpose.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

How did it feel like the fifth one did it on purpose…

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon finally had time to catch its breath below.

Qiao Sang, seeing Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao getting along peacefully from a distance, no longer hesitated and filled out the registration information.

At the same time, in the distance, bundles of nearly withered flowers closed their rose-colored eyes.

…

The next day, early morning.

Qiao Sang quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and opened the door, sure enough, seeing the familiar bouquet.

She casually placed the bouquet inside the room, then departed with Teacher Mi Jiala for Mu Lian Arena.

Half an hour later.

Competition venue.

A man in a black suit stood in the center of the venue, holding a microphone, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition! I am today’s Host…”

The Host quickly went through the procedures: “Please, all contestants, return any Pets not participating in this competition to their yu beast codex.”

In the audience, Mi Jiala waited for a long time but didn’t see Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao arrive.

She couldn’t help but turn to look at the seats she had specifically bought nearby, but still didn’t see Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao.

At the same time.

In a corner of the venue.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao held a laptop and explained some of the rules and注意事项 for the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest to Qingbao.

“Qing Qing.”

“Qing Qing.”

Qingbao listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

On stage, the Host said:

“Who will advance to the next round? Let’s randomly match them!”

As the Host finished speaking, the venue began to move and interlace.

Soon, all the venues were fixed.

After two rounds of duels, the number of competitors had reached 64, divided into 32 groups.

Many people and Pets immediately saw the contestants they wanted to watch.

“Look, two Dragon-type Pet Beast are grouped together!” someone shouted.

The people around immediately became interested and eagerly searched for the arena with the two Dragon-type Pet Beast.

Even on Yan Tian Star, where humans and wild Pets coexist, Dragon-type Pet Beast are a rare sight.

Among all the contestants participating this time, there were only two Dragon-type Pet Beast in total.

Xiaozao Dragon, a dual-attribute Beginner Pet of Dragon-type and Water-type, with a violent temperament. Anyone who touched it would be swallowed whole… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, which was nearly a meter tall, mostly blue, and had a curled tail tip, and information about it flashed through her mind.
